Getting Grid-y

I have always loved the look of art hung in a grid pattern. I knew I wanted to put this look somewhere in our house and finally decided over the couch was going to be the perfect place. Here are some of my inspiration photos.

I had a pretty big space and I knew it was going to take a lot of frames...I didn't realize at first that 15 was going to be the magic number.

It took me about a month to collect all 15 frames. I ended up choosing a frame from Wal-Mart; it was $9 and came with the style mat I liked. That was going to save me extra $$.

The problem was Wal-Mart only carried about 2 or 3 of these guys at a time. Uhhhh, I drove all over this city and even had my mom looking for me in south Georgia.

After I collected them all I decided that I wanted the frames to be gold. Then another week went by so I could get them all shiny and golden.

Here is the end result over my couch with my new pillows.

I filled the frames with colorful abstract art that I love. Once we got the center three hung it was a piece of cake hanging the rest.

I really like how the art takes up so much space and really adds so much color and warmth to the room.
